Default Can't bleed clutch free of air

My clutch engagement point has been getting steadily higher, and I've had other clutch related issues as well. The master and slave are both reasonably new.

I've been bleeding the clutch for the last 20 minutes, and I can't get it free of air. I must have bled the entire system at least 3 or 4 times by now, and I still get air out of the master every so often.

Any thoughts?

Ummm, yeah, thanks. But I know how to bleed the clutch. The problem is the continually presence of air.

some have success doing a gravity bleed. Here is a thread where that was loosely explained in the last entry. PM Billman250 for a better description. He is also the moderator on the Metro NYC board.

Had the same problem... I went through an entire bottle of fluid before I decided the air wasn't coming out with the normal bleed procedure. Throw a jack under the rear diff, jack up the car as high as you can get it in the back, slide under car, bleed-- I bet it'll harden up within 5 bleeds.

Good luck!
